So I did a thing yesterday. It was a lot of fun. I have never done pole dancing although my…read morefriends threw the years have tried to get me to go. Welp I finally gave in. This is not super easy but it's totally doable. This is great for a confidence booster for us ladies and tons of fun. I would definitely be trying this again and bringing more girls from my circle. I already started lining them up as soon as I left the studio. Don't forget to choose a fun name for your self. #bigred

We also had the opportunity to use Sarah Kimmel Photography this past summer as the first reviewer…read moredid. Our experience was the total and complete opposite ending with us having to file a BBB complaint to finally receive our disc. This is definitely one of those you get what you paid for situations so buyer beware. We paid SKP in cash in full at the time of our shoot on 8/10. Our disc finally arrived on 10/19. During this time Hurricane Irene did in fact do much destruction throughout the OBX however the service we received was still below par. The communication we received from this photographer was always initiated on our end rather than her keeping us up to date on the status of our order. Promises were also never kept. She has deleted all of the evidence from her FB page but if you go look now you will see she promises shipment after shipment and there is always an excuse for why something was sent when she promised. It almost seems like she accepts payment and then you are her mercy as to when you will receive what you paid for. Throughout all of this we never received an apology or anything to make amends for her horrible service. A simple apology and change in her actions would have sufficed however the customer is always right is not even close to how she works. At the bitter end she threatened to contact her "legal team" if we used the images that we were still basically begging to receive because they were owned by her. Nevermind the fact that we had paid in full and STILL did not have them. Buyer beware.

As many have noted before, communication seems to be an issue. We only had to wait 5 weeks for our…read moreproofs to be posted on her photo viewing website, but it has been 11 months and I am still bugging her about other aspects of the package we purchased. While Sarah has a great grasp on how to use her camera and very good editing skills, I would caution those looking for a photographer that will direct you or try any fancy shots. Sarah is more laid back and does not offer much in the way of direction. Overall, the photographs were good quality, but not "magical" like one always hopes for a wedding.

Kate took such wonderful photos of our wedding day in Duck, NC! Portraits, friend groups, candids,…read morethe reception set up, the ceremony on the beach - all of it captured and giving us so many great memories. Weddings can be stressful. Kate was a calming presence for all of us. She went out of her way to include our most reluctant 5 year old great-nephew in the large family shot. an important add-on the the quality of the photos is that she delivered as promised: 20 'sneak peak' photos arrived online within a week and the remainder within 3 weeks, and then a lovely box arrived by mail with a handful of 5x7 photos, that I still carry around to share whenever someone asks about the wedding. Just so many thoughtful touches of customer service that enhance the whole experience.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Outer Surf for the amazing experience we had this morning surfing…read morefor the first time. Our instructor Megan was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better coach for our three kids. We really liked her approach of sharing her knowledge on all aspects including how the waves are formed, understanding impacting dynamics like wind, and the approach she took to ease our kids into it for the first time. So cool and a bit surprising to see the two older ones actually catching some waves by the end of their first lesson. We would highly recommend Outer Surf and Megan as an instructor to anyone wanting to learn to surf and have a fun time doing so. Our kids were ages 15, 14 and 7. Fantastic experience!
